In January 1965 Muhammad Ali spent a great deal of time interrupting training camps and showing up at events……the big fight between Floyd Patterson and George Chuvalo was coming up and Muhammad Ali would steal the build up…….There was also a controversial meeting between Muhammad Ali and legends such as Jack Dempsey……Gene Tunney and Mickey Walker due to a speech delivered from Muhammad Ali……His connection to the NOI remained a controversial subject as well as Ali being suspended by the WBA….also….popular running back Jim Brown was offered 2 million to fight Muhammad Ali

Can anyone imagine if Muhammad Ali was a southpaw heavyweight boxer ? 🤔 🥊
Ha..at present watching the 1980 year in review of the Heavyweight Series. A pivotal year imo. Weaver just knocked out John Tate….PEACE AND SALUTES TO THE GREAT DOCUMENTARIES! #RETROBOXING #RETRODOCUMENTARIES #THEWORK
👏👏👏👏👏
I'm on this Blood. See yea in an hr
I'm 20 minutes in SALUTES TO THE FANTASTIC MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT!! AWESOME
WBC + WBA = should join forces team up merge partnership work together and make a heavyweight belt. And call it ( WBCA ).
Great way to spend an hr. Some stuff I had no idea of. See a young Leon Muhammad standing between Ali and Patterson. Damn
This hour is probably the best in the Ali documentary series so far. A lot of information. Much appreciation for continuing to educate us. Blessings and much success. ❤️🌹😇🥊🙏🏽🎉XO
Another fantastic instalment buddy. The king of in depth boxing documentaries. So much information, for any Ali fan. Props to you, again.! Bless up 🥊
Great Stuff Blood! Very informative.
Chuvalo 7-5 Patterson
Cooper wanted no part of chuvalo
You’ve absolutely amazed me with your detailed research. Ali was # 1 but most wanted to see him get beat. Chuvalo was thought by many to beat a “washed” Patterson. Floyd surprised everyone and fought on and really well, for years.A truly great chapter in this great time capsule. You have me totally enthused bro.,
Thank you BLOOD!!!!!!!!! 👍🏾🥊 keep up da great work.
Please keep these coming. These are gems.
How would they view the heavyweights of today, I wonder. 🤔
AWESOME! WELL DONE! THIS was the Hallmark entry to this series!! 🔥
This is exactly what the boxing community needs. Salute blood 💯🥊🥊🔥🔥
Another great one blood
Good stuff, Blood!
Politics, alphabet shenanigans, bogus belts, TV/radio/media rights, religion, racism, culture, cash cows and millions of dollars. "The good old days."

Thankyou sir … Thankya Imma finish watching tomorrow
Great work as always keep em coming
